“Oh god, they will immediately be able to tell I am a fraud who has no idea what he’s doing when I tell them I use Ubuntu”

When I hear someone uses Mint I think "ah, they use better Ubuntu."

Ubuntu is fine and I actually am on Ubuntu after using Arch for many years

I use Ubuntu. I think it's funny how Arch users immediately assume they know more about Linux than me because of my distro choice. My hobby is learning about Linux and I can do that perfectly from my Ubuntu machine.

I've used Arch in the past, and let me tell you, nothing crazy is going on in there.

Yes, Ubuntu sucks because they are forcing Snaps on people while snaps are slow as hell. Thankfully they haven't fully shoved snaps down our throats. If they don't make snaps faster before shoving them down my throat, I'll just distro hop. Probably to Debian. I love Debian.

Isn't Arch a lot of manual compilation? Like I do that shit for work, I don't want to do it in my free-time too.

22.04 LTS gang

Honestly, it’s kinda my default general purpose linux distro at this point. Set it up bare bones and headless, rip out snap, and do what you want.

Someone should make that bell curve meme where on the extremes they say "(i) use ubuntu", while mid is arch 'n stuff.

I rolled Debian for a long time, but now use Ubuntu as there’s a lot more online guides on how to do stuff in Ubuntu than in any other distro (IME)

I second this. I'm a casual Linux user for hosting personal things at home. I'm not a tech professional. I use Ubuntu because I typically don't know how to do things on my own, so I need to be able to find guides.

I’ll never understand the Linux community in that aspect. We want the market share to grow but always clown on the Ubuntu users, who make up the majority of our market share. If you use Ubuntu, you’re already far ahead than OSX/Win users who complain Apple/Microsoft did a change they don’t like but still remain hostage in their ecosystem.

Nothing wrong with that! I've been using linux for nearly a decade, and after your distro hopping phase, most people settle into something like ubuntu

Exactly. I've run Linux almost exclusively for more than 20 years. I did the whole roll-my-own thing for a while. Now most of the computers I deal with regularly run mostly-stock Ubuntu.

After 19 years of Ubuntu, I have lived longer with it than without. At this point I'm pretty confident in my knowledge and ability to bend this OS to my will and have it serve nearly any purpose. If someone looked down upon you because you use Ubuntu, smile and move on.

Long live Debian and the BDFL!

Sister communities:

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
